Air Algérie flight AH1087, a Boeing 737-800 (7T-VKJ) hit a light pole, severing the right winglet at Tlemcen Zenata Airport,(TLM/DAON), Algeria.

This plane is likely to be AOG for a while. See more photo’s here.

Actually the winglet can be removed and replaced and even flown with only one. So after they conduct some inspections due to the impact, they could be on their way.

Well, at least it turned out better than last time they had a wing clip accident.
